Victoria, supported by Mara, provided us with a brilliant service, providing invaluable advice and support throughout the process. They were always available to help us when needed and professional and empathetic every time we contacted them. This approach made a huge difference to the situation we were facing, and us as individuals. We were very happy with the outcome which is testament to them and the job they did. I would highly recommend Victoria and her team to other people.

Sound, prompt advice.
A professional service, with prompt, sound advice from James Twine and Victoria Sargeant. Helped us to address what could have been a very tricky consultation process with staff, which led to a favourable outcome for all concerned.

Challenging Times, Plus New HR Provider - Perfect Storm
After years of working with an established HR provider our Trust decided to make the move to a new provider, after a vigorous tendering process we selected Wolferstans. With in weeks of them starting work with the Trust we needed to tackle a number of very complicated cases. Wolferstans working with the Trust have been extremely supportive and provided swift and clear responses to all the scenarios each of these cases have raised. It is evident from our experience to date that they have tailored their service to meet the needs of the education sector.
